New Worker 3/07/2026 - Last salute to Iranian leader! - Millions of Iranians paid their last respects to Sayyed Ali Khamanei at memorial ceremonies across the country https://t.co/N0wzBbBmrF |
My name is Kyrylo Shevchenko. I am the former Governor of the National Bank of Ukraine.
A horrifying assassination attempt on a Ukrainian businessman in Monaco has shocked the world. His companion had both legs blown off in the explosion, while he and his son were hospitalized.
But the story has an even darker continuation: the bomb was planted by a Ukrainian woman who was receiving payments from an officer of Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate under the Ministry of Defense, known as HUR. Upon her return to Ukraine on July 1, that same officer shot her in the head. The entire case was "investigated" and closed in just a few days.
Watching this unfold like a scene from a mafia thriller, I am reminded of the direct threats I myself have received from Ukrainian security services, including kidnapping warnings. It is becoming clear that Zelensky's regime is prepared to use any means against its opponents.
Behind this system stands not only Zelensky himself, but also the man long known as the "grey cardinal" of his office — Andriy Yermak. Until recently nearly all-powerful, controlling appointments across ministries, security agencies, and the military, Yermak formally resigned in late November 2025 amid the corruption scandal surrounding Energoatom, and later became a suspect in a money-laundering case. But the system he built — as Ukrainian lawmakers themselves have acknowledged — did not disappear along with his departure from office.
This case raises serious questions: How did a woman wanted by Interpol cross into Ukraine without assistance from the security services? And how was such a high-profile investigation completed in a matter of days? For comparison, the legendary Ukrainian journalist Georgiy Gongadze was murdered in 2000, and the investigation still has not named those responsible.
Yet here, the intelligence officer quickly confesses, claims he acted alone, and says his leadership knew nothing.
This is convenient. The main witness and perpetrator is now dead and cannot speak.
I do not own a major, attractive business, but as Governor of the National Bank, I crossed a line: I refused to allow the money printing that would have hurt Ukraine in 2022, and I blocked a sponsorship scheme linked to Zelensky's inner circle. For that, I now face a fabricated criminal case in both Ukraine and Austria.
I am grateful to Austria, where I am currently located, for protecting me from threats by Ukrainian security services.
I appeal to the civilized world and to Europe: by continuing to turn a blind eye to what is happening, you are condemning other Ukrainians to fear, persecution, and — God forbid — elimination at the hands of Zelensky's regime. This regime has already crossed the psychological threshold of murder. This cannot end well — neither for us, nor for you.

Wir fordern eine vernünftige Politik, die sich an den Interessen der Bürger orientiert. Wer geht mit uns auf die Straße? #WegmitMerz
After yesterday’s anti-conscription riot in Lviv, Kyiv reached for a familiar playbook. The Ministry of Defense, law enforcement, and government officials insist that the burdens of war are shared equally—and that anyone protesting them is doing the "Kremlin’s work".
The response has quickly turned punitive.
A 23-year-old man has already been arrested, and he and other alleged participants face up to eight years in prison.
Even more revealing is the rhetoric.
Far-right figures within the military, long tolerated and politically cultivated by Zelensky’s office, are openly calling for rioters to be shot on sight.
Pro-government influencers and liberal intellectuals, many shielded from military service themselves, denounce the protesters as "traitors, " "fifth column," and Putin's "useful idiots" to be crushed without hesitation.
Branding every act of dissent as Russian subversion may be politically convenient, but it cannot conceal a deeper reality: public anger over coercive mobilization and the unequal distribution of wartime sacrifice is growing.
An unsanctioned Maidan—one without Western approval—is unlikely to succeed. But that should not be mistaken for public consent. A government can suppress protest. It cannot indefinitely suppress the grievances that produce it.

Trump made the call. FIFA bent the rule. Balogun came back.
And Belgium still sent the hosts home 4-1.
The United States had the home crowd, the flag, the hype, the phone call, and the second chance. Belgium had the pressure, the finish, the Red Devils, and the waffles hot enough to cook the whole back line.
You can bend the rule, but you cannot bend the game.
Cheated and defeated.
Bye bye bye.
Sacred Defense.

Typical American exeptionalist thinking… apparently the rules of football don’t apply to them, and Trump (or any Yankee president) can threaten, bully or bribe to get whatever he wants! 🤡
Here's what I'm not interested in - Belgium crying they have to play us with a full roster. They really want to play us without one of our best players. Wow, what great sportsmanship. I get it if others are pissed, but Belgium thinking it's unfair to play our whole team is weak.
You are a liar, cheat, and genocide enabler. You have used to last 2 years to double-cross your voters and trash the already weak reputation of this country in the world, not to mention your relentless drive towards world war!! Shame on you!!!
As I get ready to pass on the torch to the next Labour leader and Prime Minister, here are my thoughts on our first two years in government.
What we've done, and more importantly, who we have done it for.

"I have no moral right to accept this award from the hands of SUCH A POWER! My son did not go for the award. For the lies and corruption, our lads are paying with blood and lives. With lives and blood!"

1. Today in Parliament I raised the growing concern over “Masha and the Bear” a Russian cartoon streamed to British children on Netflix and ITVX, and flagged by Ukraine’s Centre for Countering Disinformation as a Russian soft power tool.
I called on the Leader of the House to secure a statement from the Secretary of State for DCMS on what the Government intends to do.
Ukraine re-writing history, and conveniently forgetting millions of Ukrainians fought as part of the Red Army and the partisans! Shukhevich was a fascist traitor and mass murderer!
Today, you can drop by the Museum of the Making of the Ukrainian Nation in Kyiv, have tea with Hauptmann Shukhevych of the 201st Schutzmannschaft Battalion, and plan an anti-partisan operation in Belarus with him under the supervision of German Führers — during which, as a little bonus, you’ll also round up Jews who dared to hide from their destiny.
As Ukrainian National Hero Roman Shukhevych Did in 1942!
Slava Ukraini!

The possibility that Josh Simons could be close to Andy Burnham's government raises some very serious questions.
Should a man who waged factional warfare, spied on journalists and then resigned in disgrace really be at the centre of Government?
